Huawei’s latest tablet, the MatePad Edge, is set to challenge the performance standards of Apple’s iPad Pro lineup. Recent leaks reveal that the new device promises a substantial upgrade in processing power and efficiency.
UncleKanshan, a renowned tech influencer, recently shared an impressive list of technical specifications for the Huawei tablet. The MatePad Edge is said to feature a powerful Kirin processor, which makes it three times faster than its predecessor, the MatePad Pro 13.2 model.
The advanced processor in the MatePad Edge belongs to the Kirin 9 series and supports enhanced performance. This upgrade allows the tablet to compete head-to-head with Apple’s M5-equipped iPad Pro 11 (2025) models, based on benchmark scores.
Additionally, Huawei has implemented a unique liquid cooling technology designed specifically for this device to maintain high performance levels, capable of achieving a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to 28 watts. The tablet is also equipped with a massive 12,800 mAh battery capacity, providing extended use.
One of the most notable features lies in software support. Huawei claims that the MatePad Edge will not only run HarmonyOS apps but also over 13,000 Windows applications. This includes running DirectX 11 games and professional software without relying on cloud services.
